If anyone ever asks you why San Antonio is known as "Military City USA" tell them about Honor Flight and the outpouring of love that SA citizens and the wonderful volunteers showed our veterans. 400 active duty Airmen and Airwomen showed up to welcome home the veterans, and it was quite impressive as they moved throughout the terminal. In addition to those 400, there were 500-600 citizens welcoming the veterans home. I know it sounds like a bunch of people to have huddled all together in our "smallish" airport, but it really was not bad at all. We got in and out with no problems, so you have no excuses to NOT attend the next one in September! It's things like this that make me say San Antonio por vida! I LOVE, LOVE my city!

They first give priority to WWII vets and terminally ill veterans from any era, and then they add Korean War and Vietnam War vets as slots become available. Many people gather around for their departure and arrival flights to cheer and thank them for their sacrifice to this great nation. *Flight #008 Today a group of Yelpers/SA Explorers and I met up to welcome Flight #008 home, which consisted of 40 veterans (14-WWII, 13-Korea, and 13-Vietnam). This flight also had one POW veteran, one 100-year old veteran, and a WOMAN veteran! Yeay! It was so touching! Here is a link of the live stream today from their Facebook page of the welcoming: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1685187604890491&id=685158861560042 *Meeting Location:  The welcoming team meets at the San Antonio International Airport on the upper deck and is typically stretched from terminal A to terminal B to form a pathway of supporters on each side as veterans parade down the middle. It is a really cool experience to be a part of and means a lot to the veterans. Today the reception took place near United. [TIP: It's a good idea to stand towards the end of the welcome line so you can quickly follow behind the veterans for the reception and have a good spot to see and hear the welcoming ceremony.] *Arrival/Flight Info:  Follow their Facebook page for flight updates as most of their communication is via Facebook. Please note, there could potentially be a delay or early arrival and you may need to be flexible with time. Today the flight was slightly delayed and we did wait a very good while before the veterans were paraded down. You definitely have time to write on posters and such while waiting. Also, keep in mind there is little to no seating areas. Once they have landed, it can take roughly an hour to an hour and a half to parade the Vets down the terminal, and have the welcome home ceremony. Typically they will have a band, singers, and color guard etc... ********************************** ***Next Honor Flight Sept 7/8 *** ********************************** Really Y'all, the Honor Flight welcoming team is a great and free event to support. You will be blessed by the experience and will be so appreciated by our US Heros. Next Honor flight welcoming is scheduled for September 8th, 2018. Hope to see you there!

They train service dogs for Veterans and we were trained to be puppy parents through a series of classes so we could learn how to maintain consistency in their training. We bring dogs in training into our home for short periods of time so they can adapt to various environments as part of their training. We reinforce their training and maintain consistency for them while helping them acclimate to different homes and environment. Oh my goodness, what a wonderful experience. The staff is so dedicated to the animals and the cause and so knowledgeable about training and caring for these dogs that they are preparing to become service dogs for Veterans. There is so much that goes into training these amazing animals. It has been a truly rewarding experience for us to be able to work with these amazing future service animals.

All of our services are provided free of charge.
